PREFACE. 

This  book  has  been  compiled  to  meet  a  demand 
for  a  handy  reference  guide  to  the  writings  of 
American  authors.  So  far  as  the  author  knows, 
there  is  no  other  work  along  similar  lines,  and  it 
was  through  the  need  of  such  a  book  that  its  com- 
pilation was  suggested. 

As  a  wide  range  of  entries  in  a  limited  space  natu- 
rally implies  brevity,  the  author  has  endeavored  to 
recognize  the  fact  by  giving  such  items  only  as,  in 
his  judgment,  are  deemed  necessary. 

The  aim  throughout  has  been  to  make  for  the 
general  reader  a  brief  but  comprehensive  guide  to 
the  authorship  of  the  various  writings  in  the  great 
body  of  American  literature. 

Valuable  assistance  in  the  compilation  of  the 
book  has  been  derived  from  the  following  standard 
works  of  reference:  AUibone's  "Critical  Dictionary 
of  English  Literature  and  British  and  American 
Authors,"  Appleton's  "  Cyclopedia  of  American  Biog-

who's  the  author?  93 

story  of  his  life  to  the  year  1757.  It  was  begun 
and  the  first  five  chapters  written  during  a  visit 
to  the  bishop  of  St.  Asaph  at  Twyford,  Eng- 
land, 1771.  It  was  then  laid  aside,  and  after 
an  interval  resumed  in  1781  in  France,  laid 
aside  again  and  taken  up  once  more,  1788-1789. 
An  edition  of  it  (incomplete)  appeared  in 
French,  1791,  and  an  English  edition  from  this 
incomplete  French  edition  was  brought  out  in 
England,  1793.  Many  .spurious  and  incomplete 
editions  followed.  It  was  not  until  1868  that 
an  authoritative  edition  appeared.  In  1817  his 
grandson,  William  Temple  Franklin,  brought 
it  out  in  a  misshapen  form  in  a  collected 
edition  of  Franklin's  writings.
